Summer on the Convention Trail

OK, so every now and then I get to pick the lock on my cage
and escape into the wild for a few days before a refugee from Animal Planet
comes and shoots me with a tranquilizer dark and hauls me back to the
Freelancer Designers’ Home for the Mad. As summer creeps up, I know for certain
I’ll be out and about and those of you interested in meeting me in the flesh
can find me at certain venues. If history is any indicator, I suspect your
second or third question for me will be “When’s Stonehell 2 coming out?”

As of right now, I’m scheduled to attend three conventions
this summer, with a fourth a strong possibility. Here are the stops on my
Summer Rampage Tour:

June 6th-9th: North Texas RPG Con—I’ll actually be arriving
on the 5th, so you’re sure to see me if you’re an early arrival at
the hotel. I’ll be looking to play something because I’m a busy man that
weekend once the con officially starts. I think all of my games are filled, but
you’re always welcome to come by and see if there’s a no-show or two. I’m
really very accommodating. My schedule is:

July 3rd-7th:Dexcon in Morristown,
NJ. This one is not 100% guaranteed yet, but do to its proximity to my base of
operations and the good things I’ve heard about it, it’s likely I’ll be
attending and running some DCC RPG. More details as they emerge.

August 15th-18th: The mother of all
conventions, GenCon! It’s my first GenCon
ever. It’s taken more than 30 years, but I finally get to attend the biggest
RPG convention in the U.S. if not the world. I’ve got a bunch of games schedule
and it’s also likely I can be found at or around the Goodman Games booth in the
exhibitor’s hall in between events. My schedule is:

Who's to Blame

Despite having never been a professional adventurer, Michael Curtis has nonetheless deciphered cryptic writings, handled ancient maps and texts, ridden both a camel and an elephant, fallen off a mountain, participated in a mystical rite, and discovered the resting places of lost treasures.
